vbe-decoder.py

Decode one or multiple encoded VBScript files, often seen with a .vbe file extension into decoded .vbs files.

Installing requirements

The following command will install the packages according to the configuration file requirements.txt.

usage: pip install -r requirements.txt

Note the -r option; without it, pip thinks you want to install a package named requirements.txt, which doesn't exist.

Usage

usage: vbe-decoder.py [-h] [-o output] file [file ...]

Decode an encoded VBScript, often seen as a .vbe file

positional arguments:
  file                  file to decode

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -o output, --output output
                        output file (default stdout)

Examples

# install the packages
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

# display on stdout
$ python3 vbe-decoder.py encoded.vbe

# write to file
$ python3 vbe-decoder.py encoded.vbe -o decoded.vbs

All I have done is merely cleaned the code a bit, made it Python3 friendly, and handled support for multiple #@...#@ markings.
